Louie Clemente's Gallery Of Suicide

[one man]

Anyone knows what happened to this project? Did (Does) it really exist or was it just rumour?

There was some info like 2 or 3 years ago that 'our' old-school Louie C. had formed a brutal death metal band with Doug Harrington from Defiance, Troy Gregory from Flotsam & Jetsam/Prong and Allan West from Obituary/Six Feet Under. It did sound unbelievable, but then why would one come up with such weird rumour...

I kinda doubt Louie can or would do a "brutal death metal" record. Dunno know whether this was actually true or not though.

It made me curious too. Besides Eric or Chuck said a few years ago that he even doesn't own a drumset.

 

[Testament Legions]

I'll ask.

Louie in death metal band(?) - well if I had to take my guess I would say it was a romour - I would even put some money that it was a rumour

I'm sure I remember reading about Louie showing up at the occaisional Testament show, Eric and Chuck inviting him up to jam, but Louie telling them he can't play drums anymore??

Yes, you're right, but I've also read that he did join them on another occasion and played "Practice What You Preach"- probably during the Riding The Snake Tour in '99.

Yea, he played PWYP in Pennsauken, New Jersey, at the "March Metal Meltdown" on 3/11/00. It's funny cause Chuck kept saying "pick it up Lou!". He was playing the song very very slow compared to the speed of Jon Allen. It looked like they had fun though.
